The poker chip calculator that actually does the math
Tell ChipRatio what is in your case. Get a perfect, equal stack for every player, the exact leftover for rebuys, and a blind structure to match. One screen, no guessing, no forum rules of thumb.
How ChipRatio splits your chips
Every player gets an identical stack, so per color the most anyone can receive is the number in the box divided by the player count. Inside those limits ChipRatio searches for the stack that hits your buy-in exactly and looks like a proper pyramid: plenty of the smallest chip to post and change the blinds, fewer of each larger one, a couple of big chips to keep the pile small. If the exact buy-in is not reachable with equal stacks, it snaps to the nearest value and tells you.
Poker chip values by color
The widely used convention is white 1, red 5, green 25, black 100, and purple 500. It is a convention, not a law, so ChipRatio ships those as defaults and lets you set any color and value you like. The math works in abstract chip value, and the optional cash column is pure display arithmetic. ChipRatio never touches real money.
Questions people actually ask
How many chips should each player start with?
For a home tournament, 30 to 50 chips per player feels right. Enough to stack neatly, not so many that the table looks like a bank heist. ChipRatio targets that range automatically.
What if my buy-in is not reachable with equal stacks?
ChipRatio snaps to the nearest value it can build fairly and flags it. Turn on uneven small chips and it will let the smallest denomination differ by one between players to land the exact table total. That is the only difference it will ever introduce.
Do you store my chip set or track me?
No accounts, no servers, no analytics for sale. Your last set is saved in your own browser so it is there next game night. Clear it any time.
Is this a gambling app?
No. ChipRatio distributes chips and chip values. It does not track pots, winnings, or real money beyond an optional display conversion.
